What's with current dramas?! They all start off solid only to get watered down halfway through. Is this a trend??
This honestly should've ended at 8 ep. Plot is now stretched too thin.. there's only so much stuff that So Ra can throw and God her voice annoys me. Though the actress is hamming it up with her role!π Why does Ye Ji (La El) speak in a whisper LoL!?
Ceo Kang need to work on his facial expressions. Compared to the women, he is terribly underwhelming. All he keep saying is he misses La El and how he can't live without her or go insane without seeing her.π Then there's assemblyman Seo who keep telling La El he will be there for her no matter what and protect her at all costs..π€£
The only thing I like is La El's interaction with the lil girls - Da Bi & Bo Ram. And oh well her eye makeup with some questionable fashion choices.π
This turned out really disappointing? Like how I felt for "The Autumn Ballad" as well. Both have great chemistry between leads.. had a solid start and then just fizzled out midway through.πͺ
Was not sure what they were trying to accomplish with Yin Zhang's haughtiness yet stupidity in the first half but thankfully she snapped out of it.π Then Pan'er who kept stressing independence became dependent onto men somehow LoL.π€¦π»ββοΈ
I only managed up until 26 ep. I have dropped this.
This was an ok watch ; not bad but also not that great either LoL. Was skeptical of leads but surprisingly it works! Guan Lin show potential to be a charismatic male lead like Xing Zhao Lin? Maybe even better.
There're the usual annoying friends, family members who feel they have a say in all aspects of the lead's life LoL. Also workplace misogyny oh y'know - the usual.ππ Overall it's not bad I enjoyed watching.
I liked this. Ning's growth and takin' charge of her goals was inspiring. Lu on the other... eh LoL.π€ͺ Even after 20+ ep. the man is still a child, albeit a grouch.π
Su is that typical sml that says & does all the right things but I don't feel anythin' for 'im. Unlike K-Dramas, there's no sml syndrome here.π I do however liked Yi Meng, she was classy and retrospective ; a breath of fresh air to other common sfls in most c-dramas.
i have mixed feelings about this drama. i can' stand the female lead i don't know if it's because of the actress…
I hv only watched a handful of ep. so far but I sorta agree on flπ€ͺπ her character reminds me so much of Sun Yi in 'Siege In Fog'. I keep picturing Shawn's character would be better paired with fl from 'Fall In Love' instead?
Shawn has a commanding presence and look charismatic in uniform. He has masculinity and I thought he played the role of roguish playboy quite well. For one, his smile is amazing.π₯° Fl is quite common in most of these historical C-Dramas.
Their chemistry is at times a hit and a miss. Anyways am watchin' this mainly for Shawn anyways.
Oy another drunk ons ha-ha! Can't relationships start off organically without sex LoL!? That lil smirk Si Woo gave Ha Kyung was such a Jae Eon of Nevertheless thing to do LoL. Despite its cliched premise, I'm still watchin'.βΊοΈ
Song Kang's energy level here is like he's hyped on sugar + caffeine.π Min Young on the other is on the other end of the spectrum; dour.
I feel bad for poor Yoon Park he gets whacked a lot but he's a total Loser so..ππ€·π»ββοΈ I meant the character LoL.π
what the fuck is the ml doing? is that even acting?
Have watched a bts interview with cp. That's how the ml is even irl.ππ He is tryin' hard to come across as swag ha-ha or how asians who are tryin' to be ghetto cool fabulous that kind y'know?ππ€£
I read his profile here on mdl and it made sense why ml is like that LoL.ππ€£π€£
Ml is a total Darren Wang lookalike. Even down to the smirk and smarminess LoL. He comes across cringey though?
Also gettin' "My Queen" vibes off of this. The usual May-December CP with the tsundere fl. And the young man who softens her strong resolve is all too familiar.. it even has a sml that fl is unable to move on from.
I'm glad they didn't drag the fact ml was fl's benefactor/crush (yea the childhood connection tropeπ) but he's still..in the dark.π
Am watchin' this for Jeremy Tsui.π He just looks like he's born to be in costume period dramas. So much charisma and beguiling to watch.πππ₯°
His scenes with fl (am not a fanπ) is spicy and entertaining.π As both try to one-up/outsmart the other. The plot is movin' along at a nice pace with rarely a dull moment.
Feel bad for Qiu Min, Qin Xuan - both havin' one-sided crushes for someone who don't have feelings for 'em in return. Am already 6 ep. in, lookin' forward to more. Appreciate there's no awful dubbing here.. refreshing to get to hear actors' own voices...
Fl's character reminds me of what c-actress Sun Li is known for - spunky, witty, smart.
This was a breezy watch. But ya need to suspend disbelief like, a LOT. Like the cp took the noble idiot trope a tad too literally.ππ
Guess it's slightly better than "Twilight"? At least these don't sparkle.ππ€£π It look like a bl squeezed in there a bit as well.. Fl could pass off for the fl from "Love Scenery" - they both look like twins.
For a debut, the ml is not bad for a rookie . His smirk is quite charming.π
Er--honestly, am not a fan of the leads. Judging from trailer alone, it looks like Go Go Squid only shooting LoL. And fl is paired with a guy who towers over her again LoL.
After 40 ep. it turned out to be much ado about nothing at all.ππ€£ What's with that ridiculous ott musical-Bollywood dance number in the remaining 15 min(?) of finale!?π€·π»ββοΈπ
As usual the baddies get off scot free. The good supposedly learn some meaningful life lessons while sending out Kumbaya vibes.ππ
I am slightly creeped out by Blu's obsession with Xiao Yu. And Victor's tragic straw hair! Well all in all it was a nice drama sort of watchable just skip the last 10-15min of finale. Would appeal to those who're fans of MasterChef. Despite title, there's no burning hot romance to see here. A hottie Ethan - oh yeah.π₯°
Yo it's Ethan Juanπ like what's not to like (this drama)? I'm in this just for. him. that's all.ππ₯°
I notice this trend of fls (mostly in asian dramas) acting not their age it's off-putting to say the least.π Maybe it's the age so I've a zero tolerance for it.ππ€·π»ββοΈ
Ethan ages like fine wine babyyy~ he is definitely more masculine and charismatic than most mainland Chinese actors who're way too skinny imo.π The food is a visual feast for the eyes and stomach.πππ
Push is so handsome here it's distracting.π Love the height difference with Aom. This sadly lack a lot of the charm that made the C-Drama "Boss & Me" so endearing for me. It's like the K-Drama remake of "A Love So Beautiful" - same thing.π
Also I'm only 6 ep. so far & I'm kinda bored already.ππ€·π»ββοΈ It's pretty easy to follow despite no subs.. yet.
Idk but isnβt karat technically also cheating from her husband? she keep meeting Ai lol. Itβs just so wrong…
Not technically no. She tried hard to put distance between them but Ai just kept pushing forward LoL. It helps also he is very sweet toward her son.
It's not like Chakrit is a saint either. He's worse LoL. He lied behind Karat's back AND slept with Nita for goodness sakes.π Yet he has the audacity to blame Karat for "using" their son to assume responsibility are you f***ing kidding me!?π€¬π€
I was skeptical on another May-December pairing but both Anne/James have a very natural & believable chemistry.
Nita & Venice have way too much time on their hands.ππ Chakrit is one sorry excuse of a human being.π€¬π€
I kind of like Anne's chemistry with Mark too.π€ͺπ€£ Though James is my fave still of course.π€£ Anne is sweet with the kid who plays her son, Putter as well..
Aside from the word "Beauty" in the title, this drama is much darker literally it's so somber looking compared to "True Beauty" that's bright & colorful.
It's really creepy LoL like I think it could be Jin Sung.. but it could be anyone??
Who's this "lambsky" person as well? The way Ae Jin spoke to her mom thoughπ€π€π Ae Jin's a antagonist female lead imo. She's hard to like but also I feel for her at the same time Idk it's confusing.ππ
